One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

Dressrosa, offshore.

Warships of different sizes are distributed all over the sea.

This is a rare sight.

After all, Dressrosa is a member of the World Government and has a certain amount of the King's Army.

Although it is not as large as a superpower like Alabasta, it is definitely more than enough to protect peace within its territorial waters.

But since King Liku made that speech, everything has changed.

The king's troops retreated to the island and were only responsible for the security of the island, completely ignoring the offshore waters!

As a result, everything around Dressrosa was in complete chaos!

……

Boom - boom!

Phew—boom!boom!boom!

boom!Da da da……

boom!

Artillery fire, shooting, collision, cursing, roaring...

Various sounds mixed together and became the main tone on the sea.

The warships, large and small, were of different sizes, and even their ownership was in such confusion that it was impossible to see their origins.

Pirates, caravans, adventurers, and even armies from other small countries...

They are scattered on the sea, either escaping, defending, attacking, or simply enjoying the chaos!

Occasionally a warship would be damaged and forced to withdraw from the battle.

Those with better luck can still barely make it to the port of Dressrosa;

For those who were less lucky, the warship sank directly, and everyone jumped into the sea together to wish themselves good luck!

in short--

As messy as you want!

And amidst this chaos, a somewhat shabby-looking sailboat was unfurling its sails and sailing towards the port of Dressrosa at full speed!

……

"A naval battle? Do you think I look like a naval battle?"

Crocodile ignored Alvin Lindsay, and with a wave of his hand, he caused the gravel to stir up a storm and blow the sails.

He has already seen the current situation!

I don’t know whether it was Doflamingo’s instruction or simple human nature. At this time, the offshore area of ​​​​Dressrosa has completely turned into a "chaos zone"!

Without the constraints of the franchise or the navy, everyone became indulgent.

The pirates began to loot and prepare more capital for the auction;

The caravans were traveling at full speed, trying to break through the chaotic offshore and go to Dressrosa to make a fortune;

Careers take the initiative to provoke fights and try to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate their opponents;

There are also armies from other small countries and adventurers from far away...

All these things have formed a strange "harmonious agreement".

That is - the chaos is limited to the sea. Once it enters the territory of Dressrosa, it can no longer be pursued or launched into battle!

"Don't expose your identity, stick to the original plan, and never let it turn into a situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear!"

Crocodile turned the rudder to starboard, avoiding an oncoming pirate ship while continuing forward.

However, when he turned to look to the flank, he found that two more pirate ships were eyeing them.

"court death!"

Crocodile cursed angrily, but was helpless.

After all, most of the ships that are focused on heading towards the island are caravans, and they are the kind that are easiest to bully.

This group of pirates obviously regarded them as their target!

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh...

Several cannonballs came and were about to hit the hull of the ship.

This is certainly not a "danger" to the people on this ship.

Not only Lindsay can fly, but Crocodile and Uta also have the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it will eventually become a nuisance.

"Hey!"

Crocodile was helpless and could only say: "Primitive man, don't make too much trouble!"

"Aha!"

On the side, Lindsay has been waiting for a long time.

He had anticipated this situation, so he moved the cannonballs in the cabin in advance.

One in each hand, throwing with bare hands using only wrist strength!

Ode!Ode!

The two shells pierced the air, collided with the incoming shells, and then exploded.

call out--

Another one passed through the surrounding explosions and was about to hit the deck.

Crocodile decisively stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the cannonball with his bare hands.

Shasha Fruit·Xiao Shalan!

The cannonball was "supported" by the weak sandstorm, and then Crocodile flicked it back to the pirate ship next to it.

boom!

The cannonball exploded, the pirate ship burst into flames, and was forced to break away from the battle.

But one pirate ship retreated, and several more came to attack, all wanting to join in the fun!

"Bring in the biggest cannon!"

A pirate captain gave an order, and the specially-made super-large gun barrel was lifted out and pointed at Lindsay and others.

"fire!"

boom!call out--

A huge cannonball came towards us, but the person who took action was not Lindsay or Crocodile, but Uta!

Uta stood in the path of the cannonball and spit out several notes.

The arrangement of these notes spread and turned into a set of heavy knight armor, which was worn by Uta.

Holding a shield, he faced the cannonball and hit it hard.

boom!

The cannonball and shield shattered at the same time, revealing Uta's smiling face.

"Sister Robin, these are fireworks!"

Uta's pupils spread and turned into a rotating spiral texture.

In her fighting state, she was filled with an unspeakable enthusiasm, and the beat around her was beating like a heart!

"The rhythm is getting hotter!"

……

fireworks.

Yes, fireworks.

After all, this is a grand auction, so how could there be no fireworks?

In the port of Dressrosa, there were two fishermen smoking cigarettes out of boredom.

Since the news of the auction spread, they have been unable to safely go fishing and can only sit here every day.

"Hey, why do you think King Riku is holding an auction?"

"To stimulate the economy, right? I just didn't expect it to be so chaotic..."

"Really, is it to stimulate the economy?"

"Hopefully no one got hurt."

"..."

The two of them talked to each other and lamented the recent events.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them started to get confused.

"If King Riku himself hadn't come forward in person, I would really suspect that someone had coerced him."

"It's okay, pirates don't dare to cause trouble on the island."

"Speaking of which, although there are no fireworks to celebrate, the sound of these artillery fires is really lively!"

"Haha, that's true!"

"Um……"

"what happened?"

"Look over there, it seems like there are really fireworks!"

"What?"

The two of them looked up and saw a "fireworks and shooting star" breaking through the sky not far away!

It took off from a burning ship, dragged its long tail, and headed straight to the port of Dressrosa!

Praise——

boom!

Fireworks and meteors fell to the ground and exploded into countless musical notes.

Among the notes, there was a figure, a man with a horizontal scar on his face.

His movements were even more bizarre.

On the hook in his left hand, he held a little girl;

Choking a man's neck with his right hand;

There was another little girl hanging around her neck, and she was chanting to her heart's content;

"I'm sick!"

The scarred man cursed, then rolled up a sandstorm and disappeared without a trace.

"..."

The two fishermen were stunned by this scene, and in the end they thought they were too drunk.

continue!

……

In order to infiltrate in a low profile, Crocodile finally allowed the ship to be blown up.

He dragged the remaining three people to the Dressrosa Pier, and then dodged away, hiding their traces as much as possible.

Soon, everyone changed their clothes, re-disguised themselves, and finally successfully sneaked into Dressrosa!

Compared to the chaos offshore, there is no dispute inside Dressrosa, but rather lively.

Various merchants were hawking sales, but the pirates had no plans to cause trouble.

This is the established rule, no matter how arrogant the pirate is, he would not dare to break it easily.

The four of them looked around and planned to find a tavern to get some information.

At this moment, a "robot" suddenly came over and waved to the four people who were in a daze.

"Four of you, do you need a gold card?"

"Gold card?"

Robin wondered: "What is that?"

"It's a card that stores large sums of money. It can be used in Dressrosa, so you don't need to run around with a lot of cash!"

The robot introduced it enthusiastically, but it also aroused Uta's interest.

"Are you wearing a doll costume?"

"Doll costume? No, no, I'm a toy!"

The robot's head turned in a circle, jumped up and down, and said happily:

"I am the helper toy that King Riku purchased from the distant sea specifically for this auction!"
